Economic Impact of the Timeshare Industry on the U.S. Economy, 2022 Ed.

The impact of the timeshare industry on the U.S. economy extends beyond the timeshare resorts with which customers are most familiar. The total economic contribution of the industry also includes the economic impacts of sales and marketing offices, corporate operations, the construction of new resorts and the renovation of existing resorts, and the significant impact of expenditures of vacationers during timeshare stays. This study estimates the comprehensive private- and public-sector benefits generated by the timeshare industry.

(NEW) This year the AIF has expanded the State of the Industry Report Tool to include the economic impact data. Users can access the most recent economic impact data at the national level as well as at the state and market level.

Currently, a portion of the dashboard is only available to AIF sponsors and research participants. Contact membership@arda.org to learn more about becoming an AIF sponsor!
